Legoland Theme Park May Be Coming to Central Fla.
Location Possibilities Include Winter Haven, Cypress Garden

ORLANDO, Fla. -- Among rampant rumors that Legoland is looking to come to Orlando, a spokeswoman confirmed to WESH 2 News Monday morning that the company is planning to build a second them park in the U.S. and is strongly considering Florida.

The spokeswoman confirmed research is being done by Merlin Entertainment Group, the company that designs Legoland.

According to Orlando Attractions Magazine, residents in Central Florida have received online surveys asking them basic questions about ticket price levels and how interested they'd be in attending a Legoland Park in Florida.

It was reported in early May that a rumored real estate deal between Legoland and the owner of Splendid China fell through. Now, Legoland is said to be considering a location in Winter Haven near Cypress Gardens and possibly near Old Town in Kissimee as a location for the park.

Legoland has one other park in the U.S. in Carlsbad, Calif. It's geared to children ages 2 to 12 and features interactive rides, shows, attractions and Lego-themed restaurants and shops.

A single-day ticket to Legoland in California costs $63 for adults and $53 for children.

There has been talk about this off and on for the last two-three weeks.... I think the Cypress Gardens location would be stupid. Too far away from everything else in Central Florida and there is no easy way to get to the park.

I think the land near Old Towne would be better, close to other attractions, easier to get to, etc.... I think this would be a really cool addition to the area!

I'm all for it, but their spokesman is saying it isn't going to happen. At least it wont be happening anytime soon.

The price tag is no toy...

For that price, in that area, they will have to deliver a lot. For the same you can get a Disney or Universal experience. What ever they do will need to weigh positively against that.
